The article I read was bout a woman who, after a 10 year slump, went on a trip to an island in northern Canada in order to see a Kermode bear which is beleived to be spirttual.
The woman's name was Dagney McKinley and after seeing the bear, she gained a feeling of self-worth and had an experiance known as a "peak experiance" which is a term coined by Abraham Maslow. Everyone has these peak experiances because it is hard waired into our brains. Everone's is different.
Do you beleive that you have already had a peak experience?

I don't think that I have experienced the peak in my life yet. I think this because I can't remember anything that has relaly stuck out in my mind that has changed it. Also, I think that only by being 16 years old, I'm not even half way through my life time. I just don't think that this big momement has come because I am so young and there's so much more to look foward to.

At 17 years old and a senior in high school i don't think i've had a peak experience compared to a 50 or 80 year old but compared to my peers i think that i've had experiences that have been memorable and shaping to me and my life. Everyone is different i believe no matter what age you can have a peak experience, it's just a matter of what you've gone through as a child and the impact it's had on your life.
I'm pretty sure since most of us, as high schoolers, having only lived 15 or 20 percent of our lives, have not experienced our peak. Many of us are going to move, get married, find careers, go into college, etc. To add to this fact, a lot of us are not in a "slump" as the woman in the article was. I believe most of us will get our peak when we are in our late thirties and early forties. I personally cannot say I have had an experience like this, nor will I anytime soon.
i believe that i haven't experienced a peak yet in my life. A lot of us havent had a big changed in our life yet. the biggest changed we are gonna have in the next year is college and i don't even thing that will be a peak. i do believe that a peak will happen to me but i think it will happen after college when im working
I don't believe that I have experienced a peak in my life yet. I am only 17 and don't have the type of experiences that oldar people have. I think that going to college might be an experience that could be a peak experience. If not in college then i believe it will happen when I'm much older.
I haven't experienced a peak in my life yet because I feel I'm still young. I believe most people will experience a peak in their life when they finish college or others can experience it in their 30s.
I don't believe i have had a true peak experience in my life yet. I think this because i am so young and have my full life ahead of me. It's kind of exciting/ scary thinking that one day that peak will come.Scary because it cause change but exciting because the change will hopefully change my life for the better.
